A young girl spoke today of holding her baby brother her mother had miscarried, she spoke of how perfectly formed he was at 13 weeks

I watched C4 news last night - more sad stories. I have a feeling it’s not going to get repealed but maybe there are silent Yes suppprters who daren’t speak out- one can only hope

I hope they do too. There was a really sad comment piece in the Guardian today from a woman who had to travel to Liverpool to terminate her pregnancy. For a baby who would not have survived outside the womb.

Agree, m54

moggie57 - It’s about Ireland’s strict Abortion law. Google for more info.

I so hope they do - not only for themselves but also for the women in other countries who would be heartened by this in their own struggles for change.
